Day 170, 6/19/2011


We Alaskans appreciate the summer solstice more than most, and here in Fairbanks they celebrate by gathering downtown every year for the Midnight Sun Festival. The streets are filled with locals and tourists enjoying live music, great food and well over 150 booths where merchants sell clothing, crafts, art and other wares. There are many interactive stations as well, like the gold panning trough.

A skateboarder demonstrates his talents on Lacey Street.

This booth stays busy, Big Daddy’s northernmost southern barbeque, a local favorite that was featured on the Food Network last year.

Multicolored toilets seemingly accessorize this colorful mural.
